Guest guest Posted April 21, 2001 Report Share Posted April 21, 2001 I also went to the national listing of surgeons for my insurance plan, and there were several that are on it, the insurance would pay in network. However, I felt that in my case Dr. Rabkin was the best choice. When I first started checking on this procedure he was on my insurance but the first of the year he stopped his affliation with my insurance. The hospital is an in network hospital, so my insurance will pay in network benefits.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hi. I am new to the group and was wondering if anyone could give me advice on getting started. I have not gone to a surgeon yet. Should I get insurance first, or wait and talk to the surgeon and see what he advises me to do? Is it diffacult to find a surgeon who is willing to help me to get the insurance to pay for the surgery? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 Dot, that's great! Maybe I should have kept appealing my COBRA loss a little longer. This will be a great incentive for others.

I have been busy - part-time job, -part- time watching my grandson. Here is my good news -- thank you group. You gave the the inspiration to continue on and pursue my loss of insurance. So many of your posts were on SSI disability etc, and I kept reading how you never gave up --(even hiring attorney's to pursue your cause.) I have been given four "no's" and last Thurs I got enough "yes" to receive my health insurance again. I know how my loss occurred - I forgot to meet a deadline. WOW- how many times I have read that in your emails to the group. I am so sorry I forgot. It seems to "forget" is an unhuman error and one must be punished forever. I have been punished over and over (four times to be exact). BUT finally, I have the "yes" I need. I feel such a weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I am writing to say "Thank You" so much. Your emails have been read by me - I have felt at least with you, I am not alone. You, too, forget. You, too, have been punished for forgetting. You, too, feel the unfairness of this disease and what it does to our memory. Just wanted to let you know of a victory. I hope just one person continues on with their personal cause - and they too can someday claim a victory. Dot Yahoo! Messenger with Voice.
